Lost session

[Xiaoshu Wang]

Scott:

Just did a test, hope this might help shine some lights on.

I put in these configuration on glassfish-web.xml because without it. When sending multiple request, some request is returned back (200 code but with an empty response body). My server code never see these requests. And all these happens when there is a valid shibboleth session. However, turning off these glassfish option, then the previous problem is gone. 

Since I have a hybrid app (i.e., some of them use alternative authentication mechanism) and some use Shibboleth. And this is a GWT app, so there is only one path, so I am presented with a conundrum (:-)). I can circumvent the problem by splitting my apps, but want to ask if your guys have known something... 

<session-config> 
<session-manager persistence-type="replicated">
<manager-properties>
<property name="relaxCacheVersionSemantics" value="true" />
</manager-properties>
</session-manager>
</session-config>
